Winning is Good: you got to mix things up or else you'll never end up with a Lombardi and Gold fish: Yep. Winning is Good: yeah I think I think it was a smart move and there and and I think she is heavily influencing these smarter moves coming in also but she didn't do anything drastically. Gold fish: I like what she's doing. Loser X1: I agree. Yeah. Gold fish: I I was just making fun of the memes. I like the memes. I jose: Mm-hmm. Gold fish: think they're like Loser X1: The memes are fun. Gold fish: it was the GM standing at a you know podium and he's you know and she's just standing behind him and he keeps looking at her and she's looking at her and looking at her back. Loser X1: I like how she took a couple years after taking over the team, saw how things worked, learned, jose: Sit. Relax. Winning is Good: Yeah. Loser X1: asked questions, and then was like, Okay, we're not going anywhere and jose: Done. Done. Loser X1: pulled the trigger. If Gold fish: yeah? Loser X1: I was if I was a GM candidate, I'd be wanting to go to that organization to work for an owner that gives a shit about how well the team is doing. You know? And so I'm like, Cool. Gold fish: They have absolutely. She's more in depth in in the process of wanting to talk to everybody and see what's going on. That's Loser X1: Yeah. Gold fish: someone Winning is Good: And Gold fish: that cares. Winning is Good: yeah, and they have so many pieces there that you're not like Miami that Loser X1: Well, they used to. Winning is Good: had to just burn it down and start from nothing. So you have. Loser X1: They're well Gold fish: I I feel like there is not a few Loser X1: They're getting there. Gold fish: owners that are like that. It's like jose: Yeah. Gold fish: the Atlanta owner. there's i it it's rare to have the good owner that really cares about the little people, right? So Winning is Good: now you're talking about Minnesota? Gold fish: Not at all. Winning is Good: Hahaha Loser X1: He meant the little people, 'cause this Umpa Loompa quarterback. Winning is Good: Anyway jose: Ha ha ha. Gold fish: No, I yeah, I got I got his joke. I got his joke. Winning is Good: Ryan pulls Loser X1: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: his chalk a bit to make all kinds of trades. Everything I was reading from every trade that's happened so far, he was another man, he was another GM on the phone to kind of see what was out there. And he has a pulse on the league for who's available and who isn't. But he sure squeezed on this one. Bears traded for Jeffrey Simmons. Titans get the Bears next two first round picks. That's 27th and 20, 2027 and 2028 first round picks and 2027 fourth round pick. Bears received Jeffrey Simmons and Tennessee's 2028 fifth round pick. Ben Johnson is so excited that he's already drawing up pass catching plays for Simmons after seeing his athleticism. Bears are still pursuing Khalil Mack from the Chargers and Vita Vea as well. So they're full go. to spend spend spend maybe a little f them pick strategy and get that super bowl Loser X1: Well they've got their core of their team in place. They're Gold fish: Mm-hmm. Loser X1: all under rookie contracts. So their Super Bowl window is open is what they feel like. Two years. Winning is Good: Yeah. Loser X1: Spend it now. Gold fish: Yeah. jose: you gotta you gotta take advantage of that as much as you can, Loser X1: That's what they're that's what this jose: yeah. Loser X1: yeah, this is an announcement from the Bears saying our Super Bowl window is open and we know Gold fish: Mm-hmm. Loser X1: it. And Winning is Good: And you know what? With as much as they've been able to use Kaleef Raymond, they could probably throw Roma Dunze in there if they really wanted to for a Gold fish: Yeah. Winning is Good: key part of their defense that they haven't filled yet because they have a great receiving core. It's fantastic with Roma Dunze, but no, it's Gold fish: And he just hasn't click he's very good, but he just hasn't clicked. Loser X1: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: just crowded. It's just crowded. I think he's great. I think Burton's great. I think Colson Loveland's great. Yeah, it's just crowded. Gold fish: I th I think he's good. I just don't believe him and Williams have clicked. I d I don't see them Loser X1: Mm-hmm. Gold fish: have I don't think they've clicked, you know, the connection between them. jose: I think it's Winning is Good: So. jose: Rome Adunze's got the Jamison Williams role while Luther Burden's got the Amon Ra role in that offense. Gold fish: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Gold fish: Luther Birdeman. What a g that mm, what a pick. That's a good one. Okay, so plenty jose: For sure. Gold fish: of other names that are on the rumored for the trade block here. We have Saquon Barkley, JK Dobbins, Brian Thomas Jr. I yeah, I heard that one. Khalil Mack. I like I would like to see Khalil Mack back at the back with the bears. Kirk Cousins, Loser X1: Mm. Winning is Good: Yeah. Gold fish: Rig Woolen, Philadelphia cornerback, Josh Sweat, Arizona Edge, Patrick Queen, Pittsburgh linebacker, Buddha Baker, Arizona Safety, Yahya Diabe, Tampa Bay Edge. although teams are Calling for Vi Vitavea, Packers and Bengals, Sam Laporta, Josh Downs, Josh Downs, Casey has already offered a fourth, but Colts won a third. Garrett Wilson, Chris Godwin, Jerry Judy. Cleveland wide receiver, Daron Payne, wa Washington D T Shamar Stewart and Max Crosby. I mean we we knew about that with the whole Baltimore thing, right? Real Loser X1: Mm. Gold fish: world impact Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. Gold fish: is that the Colts are considering sitting Jonathan Taylor to keep him healthy, which would be very smart because that is your money bags. Winning is Good: Yeah. Yeah. Gold fish: And just his team would tank. How fuck? Winning is Good: Well, they're they're jose: Well as far as Winning is Good: looking for a Christian McCaffrey like Trade value for Jonathan Taylor because he's about the same age Christian McCaffrey was and He's a great running back. So Gold fish: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: I don't think they're gonna get that but the closer we get to the trade deadline I think they'll get it come a little closer with it and you know what Gold fish: Mm. Winning is Good: DJ Giddens and What's his name? The other one who there who's actually the the first Loser X1: McCowan. Winning is Good: backup Yeah They're doing pretty jose: McGowan. Winning is Good: well. So I Say while you're rebuilding it doesn't help to have a star running back Gold fish: Mm. Mm mm. Raiders are kinda doing it backwards with Loser X1: Yeah. Christian McCoff jose: I Gold fish: Chinty. jose: I don't think they necessarily want to trade them, but Loser X1: McCaffrey's a future Hall of Famer. Jonathan Taylor's probably not, you know. Gold fish: Mm-hmm. jose: Not yet. Loser X1: Not yet. True. Alright. Caleb Williams is being fined every week for wearing cleats that are not designed that are designed to reduce non contact injuries, but jose: Mm. Loser X1: the NFL doesn't have a deal with. So he's wearing things that have been statistically proven and scientifically proven to help with injuries and they haven't paid their dues to the NFL so their players getting fined for it. Gold fish: Yeah, well, I n I know that company offered to pay those fines, but it's not gonna Loser X1: Yeah. Gold fish: happen. 'Cause the NFL has incredibly strict regulations when it comes to this. Loser X1: Mm. Gold fish: And a second game is a suspension and a third game it gets a lot worse from there. So the player will not be continued to keep wearing It's because it's Winning is Good: Not, not, not on this, because it was a Gold fish: a company logo you're not allowed to show another company logo Winning is Good: Yeah. Gold fish: because they have to pay a lot of money to be a sponsor of the NFL and if they are not that is the reason is comp so that's why the who was it I think it was McCaffrey wore the gloves of this company the same exact company that is the the shoe company right now and he taped over their logo to not to avoid this issue. So you're not allowed to have other logos. Winning is Good: That's what I was gonna say, he's gonna need to tape him up. Gold fish: Yeah. Exactly. And that's what they were thinking jose: And it's Gold fish: is they're gonna spat his ankles this week. So if he likes the shoes enough, he'll spat his ankles. jose: Yeah, eleven eleven Winning is Good: Yeah. jose: grand is a a hefty price to pay for shoes. Gold fish: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: Well, that was Gold fish: yeah. Winning is Good: the first week. For the second week he wore them, it was 24 grand they charged him. Gold fish: Yeah, it it gets it gets drama dramatically worse and the suspension is involved and then I think God, I couldn't even remember Winning is Good: Yeah. Gold fish: what four it was, but it was really bad, so jose: That's Winning is Good: Yeah, he's just gonna jose: crazy. Winning is Good: have to use some tape. Gold fish: Yeah. Yeah. I if he likes them. Exactly. jose: Yeah. Yeah, state the taste fucking big if. Winning is Good: Alright, now in more telenovela news, George Pickens was caught Gold fish: Mm. jose: Ooh.

Winning is Good: You Loser X1: vengeance claims the victory. Two hundred and thirty-one to a hundred and ninety-eight. Overcoming Plague of Anubis by thirty-two point three five points in a shutdown where the Fantasy Gons determined touchdowns, tackles, and absolutely no mercy. Plague had a spectacular weapon in Tony Pollard. Who erupted in forty-two points behind three rushing touchdowns and 155 total yards? Ridiculous. Josh Jacobs added 22.3. George Kittle contributed 20.3 despite losing a fumble. And Cleveland defense is starting to come on strong with 19.85 points. But Bryce Young's 10.62 point performance combined with limited production from the receiving cores left play. short of the firepower needed to finish the job. Keyson Nixon also quietly went to work with a twenty-four twenty points in an IDP spot. Verathragna's vengeance, meanwhile, brought the entire battlefield. Ramandre Stevenson led the charge with 26.2 points, powered by ninety-three receiving yards and a touchdown. Jalen Warren added 22.8 points. B. John Robinson scored 22.2, and Tyler Huntley delivered 21.72 points with solid contributions from Harold Fannon, Malik Neighbors, and the defense that keep the scoreboard moving. Vengeance had answers at nearly every turn. Even the defensive unit chipped in with El Shaheer putting up twenty points, helping to seal the deal. The verdict Pollard nearly dragged Anubis' army across the finish line, but Vengeance had too many warriors firing in all cylinders. This week, the Underworld got a reminder that one legendary performance can't always defeat the entire Patheon, especially against Ollie. Winning is Good: Mm. Gold fish: Yeah. Bucklee. Bucklee.

Alright, so the fall of the victorious Valkyries, in a historic battle and I because, you know, first win of the week or first win of the season, I can't believe it. The victorious Loser X1: Mm. Gold fish: Valkyries weren't so victorious for the fourth straight Week. Chash has fallen, and this time she handed a win to the worst case scenario. Annie's cookies, cakes, and cupcakes. Robbie remembered he actually has a business to run and brought out all the whips and chains once again, going absolutely nuclear on my wife's ass. 237.09 to 161.37. That's 75.72 points. A massacre. And luckily for Chass, she avoided being banished somehow. But for Rob, he takes home this week's Massacre of the Week Award, for putting up the highest score in the league. but you know, there's another missing award here. I mean someone else got their ass whooped even worse. So we'll get to that. jose: Crazy to think. Gold fish: I yeah, with seventy-five points, yeah, you think of that. now Loser X1: Mm. Gold fish: chass, what the heck happened? 'Cause you let a free win that you were supposed to walk away with the victory. He didn't squeak. He he brought an entire army. Leading the charge was Drake May with an outstanding thirty-six point seven four points. Javante Williams ran absolutely wild with thirty even. And while his offensive tag, Drake, Trey McBride boomed with thirty-three point six. Braylon Allen added twenty-two point eight. And on the defensive side, only two of his five really showed up, but boy, they showed up. Twenty-two points, Quay Walker, and I think his offensive tag, Demetrius Knight, added twenty twenty point seven. The rest were respectable, if not spectacular. Newly acquired Bears defensive lineman, Jeffrey Simmons only put up twelve points. Devin Bush finally posted his only single digit game of the with an eight. he's really now into the Bears. those. this team showed up and he put up the highest score of the week. Believe it. I s I'm still in shock to be honest. for Shannon. Yeah. Loser X1: Mm-hmm. He said, I'm not losing. jose: Yeah, wow. Winning is Good: Hahaha Gold fish: for talk about chass, this one will be really quick. Deshaun Watson, well you know he did his thing. 18.8 He's still playing. Jonathan Taylor continues patting his resume for another team, twenty three point one. Kenneth Walker crashes back down to earth with eleven point five. Should have been Jonathan Taylor's first landing spot. Daniel, we were to we were talking about this fishing on a shore a long time ago. I don't Loser X1: Mm. Gold fish: know why they drafted the other way around. Anyway. Loser X1: Correct. Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. Gold fish: her best defender was Patrick Queen, nineteen point nine, while Zach Bond and Aiden Hutchinson both had even fifteens. Sadly, there were too many players hurt it hurt her chances. she had Juwan Johnson for multiple weeks. Just he got two points this week. It's I guess it's better than the zero that he put up last week. and the Jets defense. Yeah, Jets defense lost to Miami. They played against Miami and you thought that was a that was a really good one to have. For your defense as you went into last week, but that was not. too many disappointments, too many holes, bad performances, and not learn nearly enough firepower to keep up with Robbie's assault. Congratulations, Robbie, on your first win of the season in week seven. Yeah. jose: First one's the hardest one. Loser X1: Yeah. Gold fish: Yeah. Yeah. So here you go. Winning is Good: Yeah Loser X1: he crushed it in a pretty epic way to get his first win. he w he is like Gold fish: Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. Well, Winning is Good: Well yeah, was his favorite kind of matchup, too many holes. Gold fish: i i he could have done better, he could've gotten Conqueror of the Week as as well. I mean, he would have been a little better. Just saying. Loser X1: being being the only team without a win and then walking into week seven and scoring higher than anybody else in the league is a pretty pretty epic way to turn around. jose: Yeah Winning is Good: Yeah. jose: well for d Gold fish: Yeah, yeah. I'm just talking some shit here, I'm gonna enjoy myself. He's got one fucking win. It's not Winning is Good: Yeah, it. Gold fish: in like he's not like he's king of the fucking league with one win, all right? You're Loser X1: True. Gold fish: giving him a big head over here thinking he's gonna like, I'm motherfucker, I'm the king of this league, you know? Loser X1: This week he is. Gold fish: Yeah, okay, well you just gave him a really big head and it's not this one, jose: Yeah. Winning is Good: But as a reminder, could flip. jose: Ha ha. Gold fish: so Are you I just telling ya. Just telling ya. Alright so Loser X1: I just talkin' like it is and Winning is Good: This is fantasy football, so as a reminder that it can flip just as easily back the other way, Loser X1: Mm. Winning is Good: our next matchup, that happened about that way for them. Gold fish: She's a fickle bitch. Winning is Good: The huge sock Loser X1: Yeah. Winning is Good: was all flop and no starch in this battle. Well, maybe a little left at the tip. Six out of 13 roster spots. didn't completely shit the bed in this one as Vince just barely missed the title of the banished one. AJ Brown, Isaiah Likely, Nico Collins have been so bust, but all three this week busted and not in a good way. Joe Burrow. was the highest score of the matchup with 37.78 points and Ollie Gordon and Pittsburgh were also positional tops in this duel. But it wasn't enough to buoy the deficiencies felt elsewhere. Allen came with a more balanced strategy. Even with Julian Love posting only two points, He still scored more than Nikko Collins. And the rest of his team clocked in and went to work making respectable numbers. 44 points, 64 points separated these teams, but it really felt like more. If Vince can gain some consistency, he'll be a really scary team. Until then, Alan continues to show us how it's done with his sixth win this season. Gold fish: this is an incredibly strong team. I was talking to earlier about this. jose: Yeah. He's got a lot of a lot of good players. Gold fish: Really? jose: so much so that he can't even start all. Like it's crazy, you know? Like some sometimes Gold fish: Yeah. Winning is Good: Yeah. jose: that's a that's a problem too. It could be a burden as well, but Loser X1: Yes. Gold fish: Mm. jose: he's doing well. He's doing well. Loser X1: That makes for setting the proper line up to be a nightmare. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Gold fish: Mm. jose: yeah, exactly. It's like too many decisions every week in and week out. But what do I do? Gold fish: no, too many points. They're overflowing on my bench. What a fucking problem. Winning is Good: Yeah. Loser X1: Mm. Mm-hmm. jose: Yeah. All bad. Loser X1: Alright, our next battle is Kuiper Belt Soldiers versus Rusty the Hobo. Rusty the Hobo rolled into battle and walked away with a 213 point zero two to one hundred and sixty-five point nine seven victory, beating the Kuiper Belt Soldiers by forty-seven point zero five points. The soldiers brought some heavy artillery, but Rusty had enough firepower to turn this matchup into a one sided fantasy raid. The Kuiper Belt Soldiers had T. Higgins was who was his undisputed star, hauling in a hundred and forty eight receiving yards and a touchdown for twenty six point three points. Nice. Fred Warner added 23 points with 13 tackles. And the Denver defense chipped in 20.55. Unfortunately, the rest of the lineup had some seriously supply chain issues. Jalen Coker managed just 1.4 points. Dominic Zaida scored three points. And Brock Purdy's two interceptions helped limit him to 15.42 points. The bench had a couple potential upgrades too. Damian Pierce scored 19.3 and Kyle Pitts Senior added 15.7, both outperforming their respective starters at running back and tight end. Rusty, meanwhile, had a balanced lineup that kept pressure on CJ Stroud. that kept the pressure on. CJ Stroud led the charge with twenty-five point nine two points while Jameer Gibbs contributed twenty-three point one despite losing a fumble. Chiron Williams added twenty-one point eight and the defensive crew came through with bot bro Bobby Okoque's twenty-three points and Nick Bolton's nineteen. Rusty even had Blake Corum sitting on the bench with twenty-three points. But the starters had already done enough to secure the win. Saquon Barkley's 17 points on the bench were another reminder that Rusty has plenty of firepower waiting in reserves. Rusty the Hobo wins with a powerful mix of offensive production and defensive muscle, which he's been trading for for the last couple of weeks. Kuiper Belt Soldiers had Winning is Good: That's right. Gold fish: Mm. Loser X1: Higgins and Warner fighting valiantly. But a few lineup misfires and some explosive bench performances left them short. Rusty survives another fantasy battlefield, pockets the victory, and probably spends the winnings on something questionable. Gold fish: Mm-hmm. jose: Pro props to my boys T. Higgins and Fred Warner. But Loser X1: Mm yeah. jose: most of my team stayed on the outer moons this this this Loser X1: Yeah. Winning is Good: Yeah. Gold fish: Yeah. jose: week. I had a a second bipocalypse, so I wasn't a Loser X1: Mm. jose: couldn't really expect much. yeah. it's it's like hands Gold fish: Those are rough weeks, yeah. You pray for the best. Loser X1: Yeah. I saw that yeah. I saw that Higgins went in there and showed out and I was like, His boy showed out for him though. Mm-hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm jose: I know, I was like and I was like I Winning is Good: Hahaha! jose: was watching the game and the first half he just got sh completely shut out. I was like, Come on, T, let's go and then he heard me and he he did his part, but unfortunately Loser X1: No. Yeah. Winning is Good: hahahaha Gold fish: He felt ya. He felt ya that connection. He definitely felt ya. jose: Yeah. Yeah, he's like Jose's out there somewhere. I need to help him. Loser X1: Yeah. Winning is Good: Yeah. jose: But yeah. well. Gold fish: Alright, alright. So we had the battle of brotherly love here. we had a host and hosts and some some brother love some brother hatred going on here. My goodness, yeah. Walk away. I'm gonna walk you somebody's gonna walk away. Loser X1: I'm gonna I'm gonna here let me just jose: Ha ha ha. Winning is Good: Yeah. Gold fish: In our battle of brotherly Loser X1: Mm mm. Gold fish: love, neither man hails from the city nor cheers for the team, but Mario does fancy himself a little Howie Roseman. And this week his roster moves paid off. Smitey Mighty Boss Stones has taken down the Apache Gorillas 214.18 to 188.2. That is our closest. It's a 25.98 point shootout. Yeah, 26 points. Winning is Good: Hahaha! jose: Wow. Gold fish: That's our closest, closest battle of the week. Ernie Daniel jose: It's crazy. Winning is Good: Wasn't that close this week? Loser X1: Yeah, I'll take the shield. Gold fish: No, no, no, no. Ernie battle Daniel the the dreaded Spartan Shield Award. Loser X1: Mm. jose: You can have it. Gold fish: Sometimes the shield Yeah, dude, hey, three weeks I think you're out of it now, I gotta say. Knock off wood, knock on jose: Yeah. Woo. Not winning, but at least I'm not fucking Winning is Good: Hahaha! jose: dying like the edge of a dagger there. Yeah. Gold fish: Yeah, no, no. This one hurts, yeah. Sometimes Loser X1: Mm. Gold fish: the shield just isn't big enough. Mario charged forward with his love interest, JJ McCarthy at the helm. Unfortunately his beloved quarterback delivered a pathetic ten point three eight points. Not exactly the love story for the ages, but thankfully DeAndre Swift stepped in with two point twenty three point four points, and young Colston Lovelin absolutely exploded for twenty four point nine. Keep climbing those charts, young man. Mario needs you. I want my pick to fall. Winning is Good: Hahaha! Gold fish: Kievy Fairbear chipped in 13 points because kickers are people too in the Indianapol India Indie defense added 20.5. Blake Cashman, man. Absolute nuclear. Loser X1: This was the killer. Gold fish: Forty-five points. Hell yeah. That's awesome. Forty-five points. Somebody checked that man. Hey, yeah, set him for a drug test. We need a drug test that dude, but that's what jose: Right. Winning is Good: Hahaha! Gold fish: we need to tomorrow. Fucking look at his stat sheet. Meanwhile, poor Daniel. This was This was our closest loss, but looking at some of these numbers it did not feel close, I'm sure. Loser X1: Mm mm. My defense let me down. Gold fish: Yeah, I was just gonna get to I don't know, human yori, man. Seven points. Rodriguez with a five and jihad Campbell with a whoppin' two. These defensive performances, these are these are bad. These are this a threatening wet noodle. Thankfully Ch SN exploded. Jackson Smith and Jigwa thirty point seven and w waiver wire. Makai Lemon, dude, hey. Seventeen point seven. That was that's nice. Winning is Good: Yeah, I knew that was gonna be big. Loser X1: Mm. Gold fish: That feels good. Yeah. Kirk Cousins Winning is Good: Yeah. Gold fish: added 25.5 and Kyrie Santos chipped in eight points. Kickers, man. All right. But even with those performances, it just wasn't enough to overcome the beating that Mario had laid on his younger brother. Loser X1: Cashman. Gold fish: one of those one of those younger younger brother beatings. Older brothers all know about. They've laid them on, It's it's good beatings. Come on. congratulations, Mario, on a Big personal victory here. The brotherly bragging rights belong to you this week. Loser X1: Mm-hmm. Gold fish: Daniel, take your Spartan shield and wear it proudly. You'll have another Loser X1: Yeah. Gold fish: chance to get even. But until then, Mario gets to enjoy being big brother. Loser X1: I just need my defense not to fall on their face and you know if they each put up ten points I would have s I would have taken the win. Winning is Good: I did almost put Trey Tucker in instead of Jacoby Lane, so Loser X1: Mm. Gold fish: Ha ha ha. Winning is Good: there's that too. Loser X1: There's that too. Yeah. jose: Horses horseshoes and hand grenades. Gold fish: Yeah. Loser X1: That's right. Winning is Good: That's right. Loser X1: I need my I need my I lost time on Tracy too. He had twelve points. I my IR is filled with all of my running backs that I drafted this year. So Winning is Good: We didn't talk about that. Tyrone Tracy got Gold fish: No. Winning is Good: put in IR in New York Giants. Loser X1: And he's out now on IR. So apparently I'm where running backs go to die. I might be getting Brees Hall back this week and that would be nice. But yeah. jose: We'll see how that goes, yeah. Gold fish: He's on your team, so we'll see how that goes. Yeah. Loser X1: We'll see how that goes. Yeah. Winning is Good: Yeah. jose: Alright. In another bout, Hail Winning is Good: Hahaha jose: Marys met Soyun Guerrero Azteca as the two top teams fought each other in another constant Gold fish: Okay. jose: struggle for supremacy, with both teams looking to bounce back from a loss the previous week. After scanning the stars all week, Soyung Guerrero Azteca came in focused and with a strong lust for blood. Sending his most trusted generals to the battlefield, Zay Flowers and Caleb Williams led the charge, with Flowers scoring twenty-nine and Williams twenty seven a pop. Gentium Bowers raided the Hail Marys for another nineteen and seventeen respectively, and speaking of raiding, the Buccaneers defense domesticated the Panthers offense with two interceptions, one of them being a pick six, one forced fumble, one. Two fumble recoveries, five sacks, one block kick, two fourth down stops while only allowing three points. That's not a defensive player's season read. It's a stat read. It's what the Bucks did this week. That's you know, that's that's how crazy they were. They popped off. Loser X1: Yeah. That was fun to watch. Winning is Good: That's pretty amazing. jose: also, you know it's Gold fish: Yeah it was. jose: bad when only force one fumble and recover two, like I don't understand. The second one, do they just here you go? Just just take the ball. Just fucking like I'll Gold fish: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: Hahaha! Loser X1: Drip. jose: just hand it over. No forcing no forcing needs to be done. I'll just give it to you. Winning is Good: Is jose: on the other side, the Hell Marys pray to all the patron saints for this one in hopes to get a back to get back on the winning side, but we're shunned. Jordan Love. Drake London and Quincy Williams led the team in scoring, but all others did not make the procession. The Hail Marys had five offensive starters, five offensive starters with single digit scores. A sin in and of itself. It seems leprosy has hit the ranks of the Hail Marys because he has all three injured reserve spots full. And he's carrying the dead corpse of Terry McLaurin, scary Terry, as you mentioned earlier, in his Loser X1: Mm. jose: in hopes that he'll resurrect. I don't think it's gonna happen. Also, he Landman didn't didn't make the didn't play that game, so big, big loss for him. And so, as the moon covered the sun in the total eclipse and the villagers gathered around the Great Pyramid, Soyungeru Azteca carried the Hail Mary's defeated body up the steps of the temple, laid him Loser X1: Mm. jose: down, plunged the dagger in his chest, and ripped out a beating heart. And A victory of two twenty-five to one fifty-five, a sixty-four point cleansing of the demons to get Martin back on the winning track and sells mare Hell Marys on a two game skid. Yeah Winning is Good: Woof. Gold fish: Not just a two jose: tough. Gold fish: game skid. He has been banished twice in a row now, so I'm not sure that heart was beating when it was pulled from his chest. jose: Oof. Yeah. S Loser X1: Yeah. Winning is Good: Hahaha! jose: faint faint signs of life. But yeah, it's Winning is Good: We back to that discussion of forced fumble and non-forced there. jose: Right. Yeah, Gold fish: Yeah. jose: exactly. Right. He's like, just just take the ball. I'm done. But yeah, it's cr that's a hard battle to to have to deal with and you can't do much. A lot of injuries have been ravaging everyone's team this year's and Loser X1: Mm-hmm. jose: Helmarius can't can't escape it. Unfortunately. That was a sixty-four point blowout. Again, shh. Gold fish: There's your biggest of the week, man. That's Winning is Good: Yeah, that was pretty jose: Tough, tough, tough. Winning is Good: bad, but the next match here has an even bigger blowout. Gold fish: Here it comes. Here it comes. Winning is Good: Shitaki mushrooms, what the hell happened? Uncle Rob absolutely water boards Jess's team in her first loss this season out of a possible 213 point eight points the one only racked up a hundred and fifty two point three That That that's that's all they counted it. That's all the stars put up Put her in the absolute basement She earned the award No one wants as the banished one to Hades the manager with the lowest score of the week That kind of Gold fish: Bye. Winning is Good: team management was only worse than Jaden Daniels and time clock management last week Loser X1: Yeah. Gold fish: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: uncle Rob was the third highest scorer of the week, with leaving Meat on the Bone 47.05 points. More possible, to be exact. But he didn't need them to claim a much more valuable and sought after award. This week we award him with the Conqueror of the Week for this 77.23 blowout victory. This wasn't supposed to end this way. Jess's starters were projected to get 220 points. CMC, Sun God, Aubrey the Kicker, and Seattle Defense, as well as Jack Campbell of the Fighting Dan Campbells and Xavier Watts all held up their part of the bargain. But football is a team sport, and the rest should get their butts back in gear next week. The One is a truly scary team with a lot of productive depth. This was just a bad week that will haunt them. for a long time as they imagine those swinging privates and their first loss. jose: Bonked Gold fish: Me jose: in the head with Wow, she fell down, Winning is Good: Hahaha jose: duh. So she lost. Gold fish: Sh she's not very tall. Cock him right in the forehead. Winning is Good: hahahaha Loser X1: So you're saying the one took two, huh? Gold fish: Yeah. Yeah. jose: To the dome. lord. Gold fish: Hey, Winning is Good: that Dante more treatment. Gold fish: it had to happen and jose: Yeah. Gold fish: It had to happen at some point and you know. Loser X1: Mm. jose: mean hell of a run. Six and and then Gold fish: Yeah, I think that's pretty good. Winning is Good: Hell yeah. Loser X1: Mm-hmm. Gold fish: Not everybody can pull an eleven and right? Loser X1: one team got their first loss and one team got their first win this week. jose: Yeah. Gold fish: Hey, what a week. Man. Balance. Why Loser X1: There's no Ophers anymore. Gold fish: is there so much balance in this league? There really is. This league has to it Loser X1: Yeah, yeah. Gold fish: is balanced, so there is a curse upon this league. There is that is a curse. There's a curse. It's a curse. Alright, well, let's see. we have offensive player of the week award goes to your uncle Rob for KC Conception with twenty-three point three points. And the defensive player of the week also goes for your Uncle Rob. Kendall Daniels, thirty-six point four five points. Huge week for your uncle with all these awards. Yeah. Loser X1: Huge week. Yeah. Winning is Good: Yeah. Loser X1: There's fifty points right there, right? Sixty points. Gold fish: It's pretty damn good. jose: Double double metal. Gold fish: Okay, okay. How are you? Loser X1: Now we're gonna go into the Gold fish: No, I did count this out. I did count I did Winning is Good: an awful at picking. Gold fish: I was making sure I was confirming I counted this out. you were our winner with four and three. Yeah, you did well. You were four and three this and you took a big step forward. Loser X1: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: Hahaha! Gold fish: well me and d well me and your brother only me and Mario only went two and five and it's very funny how it's different with the picks. I love so fun to see. yeah, you took big step. Twenty seven and twenty-two is the overall with twenty-four and twenty-five behind and Mario at eighteen and thirty-one. Let's prophesy. So jose: Mm-hmm. Gold fish: this is an artisan household here and Plague of Anubis plays the Victorious Valkyries. And of course my wife's gonna get a fucking get right gate again against me. So Winning is Good: Hahaha! Loser X1: Correct, correct. Gold fish: I am not typing Winning is Good: as you should. Gold fish: in my name in here. Because she's probably gonna be. Yeah. I wish I had looked earlier. Honestly, like I honestly I I'm not a fan of playing Thursday night players and we were talking to Jose about this and I've talked about this on the podcast a lot. It it's short preparation, short week. It's a different game plan. Things don't go the way they should. and unless you're like you know, Gibbs or Bijan, it's not gonna be your week. So usually I'm not a fan of Thursday games. So and I don't think I think Remember correctly, Bijan was the Thursday game last week and he only got eight points. I don't think I was but anyway. yeah. Bryce Count, thank you. Thank you for that tonight. I really appreciate ya. Winning is Good: Hahaha Gold fish: Hmm. But it gave Darren Waller on her side a a zero. So thank you for that donut. Not throwing to Darren Waller tonight. Loser X1: Dang. jose: Yeah. Well, Gold fish: Yeah, yeah. jose: you're lucky because I I was telling you earlier I was I sent her an offer Gold fish: Mm-hmm. jose: for a tight end 'cause I have three and I need to get I need I need like spots on my roster so I was like she needs a tight end, like you know, let me like send her an offer. I know it's a little like steep to begin with, but I always start high and work work my way, you know, to a medium where we can all agree on. Like I said, I don't know if she saw it or not, but I think I think Britain Strange, Loser X1: Mm-hmm. jose: Kyle Pitts would have been good on her on her roster to this team, but I don't Gold fish: Mm. jose: know, who knows? Maybe he dodged the bullet. Maybe or not. Gold fish: Maya, yeah, definitely. Winning is Good: Yeah. Gold fish: Juwan Johnson. Let's see if she let's see if she keeps him in this week. He's done great for the last few weeks. Yeah, jose: Ha ha. Loser X1: Uh-huh. Winning is Good: If she introduced a Gold fish: we can help. Winning is Good: little strange, she would have been in some real trouble. Gold fish: definitely. Well I I went out jose: Yeah, yeah. Gold fish: that's why I went out and grabbed Penix. I wish I played Penix against her. I'm gonna play Winning is Good: Ha ha! Gold fish: my Panics against my wife. Yeah. Yeah. jose: Yeah, right. Penix against strange, we'll see what happens there. Yeah, we'll let that battle go figure itself out. Loser X1: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: Yeah, exactly. You Loser X1: The strange Penix battle. Gold fish: This strange Penix battle. all right, battle number two. Hey, Apache Gorillas takes on Verathragda's vengeance. It's your chance to take him. Yeah, you can have jose: Ha ha. Gold fish: Fucking Ollie. Yeah, I you know, he he's really good. He comes out of nowhere. It's it's it's it's the calculator, man. He pulls it out, he's like, I know this guy. We're gonna go with these numbers. He's the number, dude. jose: Yeah, I think the ul ultimate Loser X1: Yeah. jose: number of crunching. I picked him this week. Sorry, Dan. But Gold fish: Yeah. Loser X1: All right. jose: I think I think Gold fish: Yeah. jose: somehow actually I didn't see how he performed today, but he did pick up the Packers DB and I thought I thought that's what was gonna put him over, but I didn't I didn't yeah. 13 points. All right, well that's respectable Gold fish: Yeah, McDuffie put up thirteen points tonight. Yeah, golden eight eighteen point nine from Golden. Mm, yeah, yep, Golden Knight. Loser X1: Uh-huh. jose: Holding back. I thought I thought McDuffie would be the the big pickup for him. But we'll see how it pans out. Loser X1: Let's see. I need another Winning is Good: We will see. Loser X1: win. Need another win. Desperate. jose: Mm-hmm. Gold fish: Yeah. Yeah. jose: Yeah, we're all desperate for wins. Loser X1: I chose yeah. I chose me. Gold fish: Daniel, I'm gonna go you and I'm taking that away. I'm gonna totally go myself. Screw you, honey. Take him out away from you. Winning is Good: I picked Daniel because I hope Loser X1: Yeah. Winning is Good: his defense gets a get right game, but it could definitely go all these way. Loser X1: yeah, I mean I did I didn't expect my Gold fish: Yeah. This jose: It's it's like I think statis statistically it's a pick'em. Loser X1: Yeah. I I I didn't expect my Winning is Good: Hahaha jose: The match. Loser X1: five ID play IDP players to put up less than twenty points against you either, so you know, some shit like that happens. Gold fish: true. The the the yeah, defensive players Loser X1: Mm. Gold fish: give you really good weeks and you know it's been an it's been an interesting year. No, it's been an interesting year with D Bs putting Loser X1: Sometimes yeah. Gold fish: up as high points as they're putting, higher than linebackers and minus Arville Reese just being a fucking monster over everybody, so Loser X1: Mm-hmm. D B's have been putting up a lot of I love our L Reese. Gold fish: Yeah, I dude. Yeah. Winning is Good: Yeah. Gold fish: I miss I I Loser X1: Yeah.

Gold fish: really need I still need to get with Ray and get that docket that 'cause they he had an AI that recorded the whole thing. I really Loser X1: my gosh. Yeah. Gold fish: still want to read that. I have not read it yet. I wanna read the docket of our draft. So our Loser X1: Yeah. Yeah, I've got him in our dynasty league. I'm so happy for that. jose: Good money there. Gold fish: Yeah. The Owl formation takes on Ananke's Temple of BDSM. It is six and one versus a one and six. Why is the sixth one and six the favored team here? Loser X1: Mm. jose: Me personally, I'm a couple of these picks are out of spite. and Loser X1: Ha. jose: this this being one of because I did send Alan a g a trade offer for I think it was Spy Shaltutin. Gold fish: Yeah. Loser X1: Mm. jose: I thought it was fair. It was like a tight end wide receiver combo and he never looked at it, so I was like, All right, well, you know what now I now I pick you to lose. Gold fish: Hey, I'm gonna all right, this is where I'm gonna tell you because I we've talked about this. Text message. Cause sometimes people don't see those messages through sleepers. So you gotta really jose: Yeah, Loser X1: Yeah. Gold fish: you reach out personally to the text, they'll respond. So Yeah. jose: I'm gonna start doing that. I'm gonna start doing that. Gold fish: You'll get you'll yeah, you get quicker text responses with the trades because then they're like, Hey, let's work this through. jose: True.

Kyper Belt Loser X1: Ooh, lone lone wolfing.
